"All-Figures Competition 2010 - any interest?

We're thinking about putting together the "All-Figures Competition" this summer in Portland OR - we had a great time last year but maybe didn't have as many skaters as we would have liked - anyone interested? Sometime mid-July would most likely be the time...

We would also be open to some other club/rink hosting this competition and would be happy to send the announcement so that the same format could be followed. It might be fun to put it in different regions each year so that more people can participate.

We totally understand that the Pacific NW is not the easiest place to get to, but it is BEAUTIFUL here in the summer!!!

I am trying to think of things and then get distracted by my "real" work - for some reason I feel totally passionate about this although I may not be able to compete this year (although I probably will...)

I wanted to report that we WILL be hosting a figures competition in Portland, OR
sometime this summer - the dates are still to be decided.

Thank you to everyone who responded on this list or to me personally - this
definitely helped me make the case before the Oregon Skating Council (the entity
that will be hosting this competition) so that we can go forward from here!

We are also floating the possibility of adding a figures test session to the schedule to be held during the competition (on the suggestion of a person that contacted me privately) so if we know which tests people would like to take maybe we can put together a little session - we need to see if we have enough time/judges at certain levels) in order to do this but it is definitely something that will be considered.
